        Ventoy weirdos? Ventoy is just a solid and convenient program to create live usbs. What’s the problem with it?

          because this video is a beginners guide and ventoy is irrelevant for that topic, yet here you are still talking about it.

      I have Ventoy on a USB stick, tried to use it recently for DBAN and it didn’t work, is there any way to get around that these days? Haven’t looked into it recently.

    I don’t burn ISOs often enough to need a dedicated ventoy drive, or to remember how to use the DD command, so Impression is generally what I use. I generally prefer Libadwaita/GTK4 apps that look at home on my system.
